AC/DC power supplies are used in several electronic devices, encompassing computers, smartphones, radios, and TVs. AC/DC power supplies come in many dimensions and configurations, tailored to suit the ...

The demand for greater energy savings is constantly increasing. For product designers, this means paying attention to the key parameters of power devices, including high efficiency and low standby ...

Single-phase power factor correction (PFC) circuits—a kind of front-end AC/DC converters—are ubiquitous in a variety of ...

Making a dc voltage from an ac source means you will have to rectify the ac voltage to get a dc bus. One difference compared to a dc-dc converter is that you can use a linear power supply with an ac ...

By eliminating current sensors without sacrificing efficiency, researchers have shown a new way to build smaller, cleaner, ...

Viper31 is a mains voltage converter for ac-dc power supplies from STMicroelectronics which allows PSUs to be constructed that consume only 20mW no-load at 230Vac, while delivering up to 18W when ...

When first starting an electronics project, it’s not uncommon to dive right in to getting the core parts of the project working. Breadboarding the project usually involves working with a benchtop ...

Dealing with power density through modularity. The value of a fully digital power supply relates to the data. Interpreting the data: The role of the power supply’s user interface. A fully digital and ...

Recom has created a wide input range 1.5 x 2inch 15W ac-dc converter that operates over part that operates over 18 – 264Vac, or 18 – 375Vdc. All parts have a 40 x 52.5mm footprint and stand 25.5mm ...
